Warner Bros. Discovery may no longer show NBA games on TNT each week, but that doesn’t mean the company is no longer playing basketball.
Shaquille O’Neal, Authentic Brands Group and Warner’s TNT Sports will launch “Dunkman,” the first professional league tied to dunking, in summer of 2026. The inaugural season will feature 24 skilled dunkers competing live across four events. Finalists will compete for a world championship title and a grand prize of $500,000. Eli Lilly & Co., the pharmaceutical giant, will also work as a partner with the league.
